I passed my Alcohol and Drug Counselor Exam with flying colors. Thanks to Christian Institute! Christian Institute's on-line classes gave me the flexibility and tools I needed to pass each class and feel confident while applying for my internship. Christian Institute was there for me every step of the way to answer questions and offer support.
I am so grateful for all their help. Sincerely, Polly H. 
Dear Lawrence:
Just a quick note to express my thanks for the help you gave me through Christian Institute as I studied for my drug and alcohol counselor credential.

Samples of Students' Assignments (Christian Institute helps people fulfill their calling) Why Do I Want to Be a Drug and Alcohol Counselor What Students Say About Overview of Addiction:
I loved this course, very insightful. I absolutely agree with the spiritual aspect of learning about addictions. You certainly can't have one without the other. This is an excellent course. I do not think that Christian Institute should change a thing. Thank you so much for challenging me to be better. -Orin This course provides a solid understanding of substance abuse and recovery, combining practical strategies with ethical and cultural awareness. It aligns well with Christian values like compassion, support, and holistic care, making it valuable for anyone in ministry or counseling roles looking to better support individuals and families struggling with addiction. -Milagros I reached out to Dr. Lawrence Sam a few times regarding questions about the coursework. Dr. Sam was very prompt with his replies (and grading the coursework) and never failed to provide a thoughtful professional response. - John This is a great course, and it has helped me develop a stronger understanding of the spiritual, psychological, and predisposition aspects of addiction. -George |
